A uniform rod of mass 3.30×10−2 kg and length 0.450 m rotates in a horizontal plane about a fixed axis through its center and pe

rpendicular to the rod. Two small rings, each with mass 0.200 kg , are mounted so that they can slide along the rod. They are initially held by catches at positions a distance 5.20×10−2 m on each side from the center of the rod, and the system is rotating at an angular velocity 35.0 rev/min . Without otherwise changing the system, the catches are released, and the rings slide outward along the rod and fly off at the ends.
(a) What is the angular speed of the system at the instant when the rings reach the ends of the rod?

(b) What is the angular speed of the rod after the rings leave it?

(a) 2.75 rev/min

The moment of inertia of the rod rotating about its center is:

I_R=\frac{1}{12}ML^2

where

M=3.30\cdot 10^{-2} kg is its mass

L = 0.450 m is its length

Substituting,

I_R=\frac{1}{12}(3.30\cdot 10^{-2})(0.450)^2=5.57\cdot 10^{-4} kg m^2

The moment of inertia of the two rings at the beginning is

I_r = 2mr^2

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of each ring

r=5.20\cdot 10^{-2} m is their distance from the center of the rod

Substituting,

I_r=2(0.200)(5.20\cdot 10^{-2})^2=1.08\cdot 10^{-3} kg m^2

So the total moment of inertia at the beginning is

I_1=I_R+I_r = 5.57\cdot 10^{-4}+1.08\cdot 10^{-3}=1.64\cdot 10^{-3}kg m^2

The initial angular velocity of the system is

\omega_1 = 35.0 rev/min

The angular momentum must be conserved, so we can write:

L=I_1 \omega_1 = I_2 \omega_2 (1)

where I_2 is the moment of inertia when the rings reach the end of the rod; in this case, the distance of the ring from the center is

r=\frac{0.450 m}{2}=0.225 m

so the moment of inertia of the rings is

I_r=2(0.200)(0.225)^2=0.0203 kg m^2

and the total moment of inertia is

I_2 = I_R + I_r =5.57\cdot 10^{-4} + 0.0203 = 0.0209 kg m^2

Substituting into (1), we find the final angular speed:

\omega_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{I_2}=\frac{(1.64\cdot 10^{-3})(35.0)}{0.0209}=2.75 rev/min

(b) 103.0 rev/min

When the rings leave the rod, the total moment of inertia is just equal to the moment of inertia of the rod, so:

I_2 = I_R = 5.57\cdot 10^{-4}kg m^2

So using again equation of conservation of the angular momentum:

L=I_1 \omega_1 = I_2 \omega_2

We find the new final angular speed:

\omega_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{I_2}=\frac{(1.64\cdot 10^{-3})(35.0)}{5.57\cdot 10^{-4}}=103.0 rev/min

A motorist enters a freeway at 45 km/h and accelerates uniformly to 99 km/h. From the odometer in the car, the motorist knows th
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a)  19440 km/h²

b) 10 sec

Explanation:

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 45 km/h

v = final velocity achieved by the car = 99 km/h

d = distance traveled by the car while accelerating = 0.2 km

a = acceleration of the car

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

99² = 45² + 2 a (0.2)

a = 19440 km/h²

b)

t = time required to reach the final velocity

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

99 = 45 + (19440) t

t = 0.00278 h

t = 0.00278 x 3600 sec

t = 10 sec

The joule and the kilowatt-hour are both units of energy. 15 kw · h is equivalent to how many joules? answer in units of j.
choli [55]

The solution for the problem is:

1 Watt = 1 Joule per second 
1 Watt*second = 1 Joule 

a Kilowatt is 1,000 Watts 
an hour is 60 seconds times 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds 
a Kilowatt * hour is 1,000 Watts in 3,600 seconds 

15 W*h = 15,000 Watt*hour = 15,000 Watt * 3,600 seconds = 54,000,000 Watt*second 

54,000,000 Watt*second = ? Joules 
54,000,000 Joules / second = 54,000,000 Watts

Given the following situation of marble in motion on rolling 10 m/s horizontally from a height of 1.5-m with negligible friction
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The ball would hit the floor approximately 0.55\; \rm s after leaving the table.

The ball would travel approximately 5.5\; \rm m horizontally after leaving the table.

(Assumption: g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.)

Explanation:

Let \Delta h denote the change to the height of the ball. Let t denote the time (in seconds) it took for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table. Let v_0(\text{vertical}) denote the initial vertical velocity of this ball.

If the air resistance on this ball is indeed negligible:\displaystyle \Delta h = -\frac{1}{2}\, g\, t^{2} + v_0(\text{vertical}) \cdot t.

The ball was initially travelling horizontally. In other words, before leaving the table, the vertical velocity of the ball was v_0(\text{vertical}) = 0 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

The height of the table was 1.5\; \rm m. Therefore, after hitting the floor, the ball would be 1.5\; \rm m \! below where it was before leaving the table. Hence, \Delta h = -1.5\;\rm m.

The equation becomes:

\displaystyle -1.5 = -\frac{9.81}{2} \, t^{2}.

Solve for t:

\displaystyle t = \sqrt{1.5 \times \frac{2}{9.81}} \approx 0.55.

In other words, it would take approximately 0.55\; \rm s for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table.

Since the air resistance on the ball is negligible, the horizontal velocity of this ball would be constant (at v(\text{horizontal}) =10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}) until the ball hits the floor.

The ball was in the air for approximately t = 0.55\; \rm s and would have travelled approximately v(\text{horizontal})\cdot t \approx 5.5\;\rm m horizontally during the flight.
